The potential of degraded lands is often estimated using highly uncertain data sets and tends to be overstated, with little attention given to the current status and use of these degraded lands.
“However, this potential is often estimated using highly uncertain data sets (Field, Campbell, & Lobell, 2008;Goldewijk & Verburg, 2013;Hoogwijk et al., 2003;Meiyappan & Jain, 2012;Nijsen, Smeets, Stehfest, & Vuuren, 2012;Ramankutty, Heller, & Rhemtulla, 2010;vanVuuren, Vliet, & Stehfest, 2009), and tends to be overstated, with little attention given to the current status and use of these degraded”

Lambin et al. (2013) emphasize that the physical availability of degraded land is only part of the story.

Even a precise map of the physical area of degraded land would significantly overestimate its potential by neglecting its myriad social, environmental, and political constraints.

Despite uncertainties in these estimates of degraded areas and their ideal uses, improved understanding of our global land base is necessary to address worldwide land scarcity, and to develop policies around bioenergy and large-scale land acquisitions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
